I’d say it’s some variety of very northern North Yorkshire, though I can’t place it exactly.

There are many north Yorkshire features in it, but I would have placed such words as “brattlin” (= rushing noisily) even further north. That “lairk” for “look” is pretty distinctive and ought to be a decider (if I knew just where it was distinctive of!).

The strange thing is that while she’s rolling her Rs, her English is not completely rhotic. beard, curled, world, turn are pronounced without (or with a very subtle) R, but hair is pronounced with an R.

I’m also going to say Yorkshire, on the basis of the following overwhelming and conclusive evidence. She didn’t use “the” in the sentence “so he clinked (??) up on throne…” which is rather distinctive. The only place I’ve heard that before is in the Monty Python skit, Four Yorkshiremen.

The BBC’s description “The Bible – in Cumbrian dialect”, though, is a typical example of sloppy — and patronizing — journalistic editing (it’s only local radio; we don’t have to be accurate). It isn’t the Bible at all, of course, but a humorous anecdote based on an episode in the Bible.

These “regional tales and verses” — often distinctly pawky in tone — can suffer from being written and performed by people who do not, in fact, speak “broad” in their everyday lives, but “put it on” for the printed page or the microphone and place heavy emphasis on archaisms.
